D&A Progress Update.

More Text!! But that's ok, I'll get a pic up in the next day or two to make up for it.

So, status update:

- Denny's arm (the one that isn't attached to her body) has been now inked in purple. So far, so good. Hopefully her arm will be done in the next DAY or so, since i haven't done much work to those areas, and well, its hard to highlight a colored metallic color. However we will see, although given some of the detail on her arm, i'm hesitant at doing anything else on it, in the event i should screw something up. Hopefully i'll get the bottom half of her spear done as well, so when the main body is done, i can glue the arm on and then finish off the top section of the spear, since it shouldn't get in the way of anything (given the rough "stuck" together concept i did way back last year).

- On the topic of Denny still, she has now received her blue ink phase. So far, so good and boy does she look like one menacing model. This is a good sign of course, since i wasn't sure how a colored metal concept was going to work, let alone if it would still maintain some of the characteristics of the army and feel with it. Suffice to say, it has been a success, thus far.

- On the topic of 'theme' (everything seems to be rolling into each other today). I went back and did some of the metal work for Gaspy. What color did i go with you ask? TIN! Reason being, i didn't want an overly bright color as his metal components (i was thinking bronze initially, but it actually looks a tad bit bright...) Thus far, its looking really good, so Gaspy has that dark feel about him, without being too dark. I'll probably give those sections a rough highlight in like copper perhaps, just to make them stand out a bit more, but otherwise, it looks like the tin will stay. This will probably also be the case for Denny as well.

Things to do for tomorrow:

- Blue ink to Denny's arm.
- With Denny's body now complete, it's time to do some black touch up and start doing her random DETAILED fiddly bits. I also really need to sit down and sort out her base, since i want that done before i move to doing her robe highlights.
- Finish doing the Tin sections on Gaspy.
- Take pictures


Not a bad list, fairly simple, but to the point. Of course this is assuming i don't nap most of my tomorrow away. I'm thinking after i come home from work, I'll play WoW for a bit to keep me awake, have dinner, PAINT, and then organise stuff for the following work day and that should be everything accomplished for one day, at least, i hope so.

for a moment there I thought you were having your holidays.
The only progress I've made during this weekend is demoldlining 2/3 of a Hormagaunt rack.
I'm gonna do a celebration dance when that's finished.

Meh, I wish i was having a holiday! Right now, progress is hindered for today, since i had a three hour nap after playing WoW to help wake me up *sigh*. I hope to get half that stuff done i proposed today before heading to bed, so we'll see how things go.

If i remember correctly de-mold lining gaunts was NOT a fun process...
